In ΔΣ converters, noise shaping is used to lower the quantization noise in the signal band. In quadrature ΔΣ bandpass converters, imperfect matching causes image noise to be reflected into the signal band and so it too must be addressed. In feedback ΔΣ quadrature converters, a cascade of signal resonators is followed by an image resonator which creates the image notch to address the reflected image noise problem. Recently, feed forward ΔΣ quadrature converters have been preferred because of superior dynamic range, lower power requirements and less signal distortion. However, attempts to apply the usual resonator ordering of the feedback architecture to the feed forward architecture have resulted in some problems. For example, the placement of the image resonator as the last resonator results in the converter being impractically sensitive to coefficient errors. This is so because in the feed forward approach the input to the image resonator is the output of the last signal resonator, and, the energy in this signal near the image frequency is small, owing to the accumulated attenuation of the signal resonators at the image frequency, whereas in the previous feedback approach the image frequency energy applied to the image resonator is not limited by propagation through the signal resonators. In the feedback approach, the energy at the signal frequency gets attenuated by the image resonator. However, since there is only one image resonator, the problem is less severe. Moving the image resonator to an earlier stage of the cascaded resonators increases the impact of the quadrature errors on subsequent stages.
